Hi All,

From last 10 days i am trying manage my search result coming by multimatch query.

The problem is i am getting the results in which the words are partially matched. Example: if i am looking for **testing** in my metadata fields and in document stored on S3, I am getting result which have **TEST** in them which i do not want.

I want to search exact terms in my fields there are various fields and a attached document with that metadata in which i am making search. I tried with minimum\_should\_match =100% but it did not work.
